Product Description

Discover the connection between money and what really matters in life. Using a prodigal son approach, financial expert Matt Bell helps readers understand how we've traveled far from the financial home God prepared for us. Matt helps readers redirect spending to meet their deepest longings for relationships and joy.

From the Inside Flap

Money and things--the more we have, the more we want. Of course, we all know that "More" is a game that can't be won. No matter how much we get, it's never enough. But deep down inside, part of us clings to the hope that the next time will be different--with a little bit more we'll be happier. So we keep up the pursuit. Fortunately, there's a better way to manage our money and our lives: Turn toward home.

Just as the prodigal son wandered from home and squandered his inheritance, so have many of us wandered from the financial home God prepared for us. In this inspiring and instructive book, financial writer and speaker Matt Bell helps you redirect your use of money to meet your deepest longings--to turn toward the life God intends for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best New Book on Stewardship, November 4, 2008
By K. Behr (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Money, Purpose, Joy: The Proven Path to Uncommon Financial Success (Paperback)
Matt Bell's book, "Money, Purpose, Joy" is one of those rare books on stewardship that should be read by those that are struggling, those that are succeeding and those that are stuck somewhere in between. The book covers both the Biblical basis of understanding personal financial integrity and also launches into proven financial disciplines that will work.

Matt introduces some new terminology that is extremely helpful in providing examples and contrasts of personality types and attitudes towards spending, saving and building. His own testimony as a "Prodigal Son" is inspiring and is a great reminder that we can embrace a new vision to use money in ways that bring freedom and joy.

As a Pastor that enjoys teaching stewardship, I have a new favorite book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your average financial planning book!, November 4, 2008
This review is from: Money, Purpose, Joy: The Proven Path to Uncommon Financial Success (Paperback)
As somebody who teaches financial planning workshops on a regular basis, I really appreciated how instead of simply mentioning tips for budgeting, getting out of debt, investing, etc., Matt Bell really sought to seek out the root cause and issues underlying our decisions or financial issues. It was really refereshing and encouraging to read. Even after reading many financial planning books, it was exciting to pick it up and read it during my daily. I hope people read this book and realize that keeping up with the Joneses isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's ok to live counterculturally, especially when the result is a life of more meaning and joy.

5.0 out of 5 stars CT Dad, October 10, 2008
This review is from: Money, Purpose, Joy: The Proven Path to Uncommon Financial Success (Paperback)
This is a great book to help those of us who see money as an important, but just one, aspect of a full and meaningful life. Most financial advice boks seem to be based on the premise that we all want go be gazillionaires and will do anything to get there. Matt Bell's book shows a more holistic and human way of looking at our money in the context of ones values and big-picture goals. It is also full of practical advice that gives one a place to start. A great read.
